when you receive a file with xchat this is placed in ~/.xchat2 wouldn't ~/download/ be better?

It seems to me, that your solution just adds an extra step to the
sit-and-drag routine. With your setup I would have to open Downloads
window and only then drag files to proper locations, as opposed to
dragging right from the desktop. If you keep everything you download in
a single folder, you probably do not download that much or have
excellent memory, but some people prefer to have separate locations for
(as an example) photos, music and source code.
